I really think this illness stems from emotional neglect and lack of validation as a child. Attachment issues abound.
I talk about it in therapy though I haven't got relief from the feeling of being disconnected.
I watched the clip on the actress who has dp. I was amaxied and envious of how put together she liked and sounded. I think it's amazong how she is an actress, a profession where you are looked at and empathetize with your characters.
I have a hard time feeling other ppl. Things seem askew. And it's a chore to do daily things.right now I am taking a break from work which is creating an economic deficit. I hope to return despite my disconnection. Tho I don't imagine it will be easy.
This is me today.

I feel like I’m disappearing. I wonder if anyone else feels like this. I just feel less and less connected to the world and other ppl.

I can recommend a book by Erika J Chopich / finding love and wholeness through your inner child. This has been an eye opener for me.

I think depersonalization can develop for a variety for reasons. Interesting post nontheless, I can see how emotional neglect could lead to depersonalization.

I'll check out that book.
Maybe having more structure would help.
I'm looking. I am just looking for a way out
